You live long enough and you start to see the elements of a new game’s DNA. Most games build on another that came before it. For example, Undertale takes a lot of inspiration from EarthBound.
What this has meant for me is that new games have a harder time really gripping my attention because I often think “well, that part was fun, but this other mechanic was much better implemented in this other game.”
I don’t have the patience anymore - nor the free time - to stick with any game that doesn’t do something special. And for me, gameplay is more important than anything else. Great visuals don’t make up for unfun game mechanics.
I hear you. I don’t know about the rest of the apps, but Voyager has a fairly robust set of filter options. I regularly block things for non-dramatic reasons (like I just have zero interest in a specific subject that gets a lot of posts).
I’m not sure about using Lemmy through a web browser and what options that affords.
Same reason I still haven’t played Black Myth Wukong
